If you didn't make Insecta Fiesta this year, you missed out on a great time! But be sure to mark your calendars for our next venture in entomophagy on October 20th for an Insecta Fiesta Bar-BUG-Que. We are planning a family style Bar-BUG-Que lunch with activities for the kids, a great raffle, honey sale, cockroach races, and a costume contest. It'll be the Halloween hit of the year!

Yes, even insects like to wear costumes. This little guy is a green lacewing larvae that has disguised himself by taking bits of debris and gluing it to his back. They commonly called Debris Carrying Lacewing Larvae and use the debris as camoflauge and because it makes them "smell" a little more like their prey, so they aren't detected as easily.
